A man from Chongqing in Southern China nearly suffocated to death after a romantic gesture to his girlfriend went wrong.
Mr Hu Seng had asked his friend to tape him into a box so he could ship himself via a courier service to his girlfriend, Li Wang.
However, the romantic gesture turned into a life-threatening event for Mr Hu when the courier company mixed up the address with another delivery.
The 30-minute wait turned into a three-hour ordeal for Mr Hu.
The material of the box was reportedly too thick for him to make any breathing holes while inside and he did not want to spoil the surprise by calling for attention.
When the box arrived at Li Wang's place, his friend was poised to record the event.
However, they found Mr Hu unconscious and looking pale upon opening the package.
Subsequently, paramedics were called over to her apartment to revive him.
He admitted, "I didn't realise it would take so long."
The courier company said they would not have accepted this delivery if they had known there was a person inside.
The spokesperson said that even for animals, a special container would be used so they can breathe properly.
Oh, dear! Best wishes for the safety of your house!
Thanks, Cy! I don’t need Bio-Freeze often, but when I do, it WORKS! Thank you so much! I will let you know...
Hang in there Honey. Prayers for you and Mr CO. You WILL be fine!
*hug*
Waiting for pics...
Maybe one of these years, before I get too decrepit, I can join you on a VaCa! How fun would that be? (As long as it’s near the water!)
We can bring you up to Lake Norman, anyway, when you visit. DP et al can sail, and we can watch. It is so nice here this evening. DP is fishing. Wind has dropped; if it gets buggy, I will take Kathleen in.
Sally found a full-size washer. I thought we just had the stacked units upstairs. Two washers, what a luxury!
More prayers, Idaho...first for everyone’s safety, townsmen and firefighters, and then for your town. ((HUGS))
Glad you and Fredd are safely away already. I hope MrCO is ready to evacuate at a moment’s notice.
I have been on the phone with him all day. He is now filling his truck with fuel. He wanted to wait I said NO. Sky crane is being used as I type this. ((HUGS))
Thank you very much for evening crackup!
Loves me the banker kitteh! Thank you!
So good to see you! Thanks for talking about the garden—at least I’m not the only one who is plowed (ploughed?) under by the produce. There are not enough hours in the day to do all the fun stuff!
No skeeters? Perhaps you could send your power and influence this way?....
Well, h___. (Please excuse bad language.) Prayers up and continuing for you and yours. Thanks for updating us.
A little obscure but so am I.
Speaking of you, how are you and what are you doing? Enjoying your down time? Starting a job hunt?
I have applied for a job I would really like. It is at a local Christian University (CBU) doing desktop support admin and faculty and a few other things. I would also be expected to keep up with current computer technology so I could make recommendations on new equipment. It is about 15 miles from my house so I could by a small pick up instead of a commuter car. I have a member of the administration , a former student employ and the leader of a yearly conference that works with this department to use as references.
Just to make thing more fun I need to do about $4,500 repair to my rental house this month.
Good morning, Undead persons. Good luck with the job, Thomas.
Good morning. It’s a fine morning we’re having this morning. Looks like it will be morning until at least noon.

Ahyezzz...my favorite red X!
